Principal's Message
Dear Holliman Families,
I would like to wish you all a happy winter vacation! Please join me in the Holliman Libarary during the Science Fair on Thursday, March 2nd for "Cannolis with Mrs. Cabana." I will be presenting last year's Survey Works data and how this information drives school improvement. I will also be providing an overview of our 3 Star Accountability rating from The Rhode Island Department of Education and what that means for Holliman!
I encourage all families to take a few minutes to complete the Survey Works family survey over the vacation. The link the the family survey can be found below.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Cabana, Principal

Survey Works 2023 Updates
We currently have 57 families who have completed the survey!!! Let's get to 100 by the end of February break!
The Rhode Island Department of Education is currently administering its annual SurveyWorks Family Survey, which is an opportunity for family members to provide feedback about our school community and our children’s opportunities to learn.
The survey results are most useful when all families participate! Our goal is to get to 100% participation this year!
Your views on matters like the safety of your child at school, the way students are taught, the condition of the school, and how connected you feel to this school are important. By taking this short survey, you can help our school leadership and school community to make improvements. Responses are anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual; no one can tie your responses back to you.
You can take the short survey online between January 17 and March 31. To take the survey, visit: bit.ly/ridefamily. Choose your school from the dropdown list.
Below is an invitation to an in person meeting to learn more about Survey Works. A virtual option will also be offered immediately following the PTA meeting!
